Challenge...NOT for everyone!

Woooo Hooooo! You go girl! You are doing great! How did dinner and liquids end up for the day?

Dinner was so so.............. I ate some turkey and a few strawberries, but I got all my water in... I was worn out and over heated from the rest of the day so I went to bed early. Not to bad but today is a new day and I will continue to chalenge myself.

So my day ended up well for the most part. Only thing I lacked was getting the darned walk in again! BUT did yard work, worked in garage, did lots of cleaning too, so all in all was a pretty active day. Got in 48 oz of crystal light and 32 oz of water. 3 cups of coffee, then a few sips of my husbands. Food blunder for the day was that at 10 PM I just craved a banana so much, I went ahead and ate one. I typically eat one every morning, and various other fruits during the day. But the phase 1 is no fruits aside from a tomato, so I guess technically I blew it with the banana...but beats sweets or other more poor carb choices.

scale was only down .4 this morning, so in reality, no loss yet. BUT no gain right?!? The lbs do not come on overnight, although they seem to, and it takes time for them to come off as well.

Tomorrow will be sort of busy day for me. A couple of appt's and have to take my husband to Colorado Springs and drop him off. he will be there for a visit for a few days. The break and me time will be very good for me. Will probably be checking in closer to evening, but i will come and check in.

You are doing great, even with the banana... better to have fruit then a bowl of icecream or candybar..... and today is a new day and a new start for a day of better eating and getting all our water in.....

BTW Enjoy your me time , you deserve it!

Thanks Lisa! I am soooo happy I get some me time. My sons friend that is staying here was even told her had to find elsewhere to stay until Saturday night, as Paul going to his moms has always been planned to give me my own time, and in the last 4 months he has stayed here, he has been around when not at work. I told him no offense, but this is what I need and why he goes. So he finally cooperated. I also let the kids know that I needed this time to me.

Thanks for the encouragement. I am doing pretty well. Not enough food in today, but just feeling real whiped out and not hungry. Had some protein shake tho and will have dinner.

You are very welcome..... Enjoy your (ME) time! I hear you on being to tierd to eat...... I over did it today and passed out around 5 so I missed dinner so I now that I am awake I am having another protein shake for dinner.

now I hope I can go back to sleep lol.......

Wishing you the best of luck in getting back to sleep.

It is looking like I may lose my "ME" time. My daughter took my grandson to the doctor for vomitting that has been intermittent all week, but projectile when happening. They told her to take him to Childrens hosp in Denver as he has a history of digestive trouble so if they have to stay, I will be heading up there tomorrow morning. I wish they would just figure out what is going on with him and fix it! He'll be a year soon and this has been going on since 2 weeks old, only usually just can't pass a BM.

Got a walk in, however not the 2.5 I had hoped for, but did get lots of other activity in... could have been better or worse. Walk was cut short by call from my daughter on my grandson. Had that doggone "other" cup of coffee this evening. but other than that, did well for the most part.

Patrece, I am sorry to hear about your grandson, I will keep him in my prayers .
Sorry about the Me time but a grandmas love and a mothers love always trumps out the me time
I am glad to hear your day went well ....... nows I have to say one thing LOL  COFFEE.......... call me a nutcase but I have to have atleast 2-3 cups a day of I can not be human heheheheheee other then that my yesterday went pretty good I met all my goals but did not eat all my protien.... had to drink it in.........
I must say I really like being acountable for myself and posting my day.... it keeps me in line.
Now call me if you need too and let me know how your grandson is doing... your all in my prayers.

Hugs, Lisa

Sounds like you are doing great with this! I needed the accountability too. Many  wls folks do. Thinking we need to extend this challenge. Maybe even have a chatroom meeting once a week on it?
I too HAVE to have my coffee. I gave up pepsi, sweets, fried stuff...but NOT coffee. Have to have something, and coffee is it I guess. Beats turning to alcohol huh? LOL.

I am getting ready to hit the shower, the bank and head to Denver. You are so right. Family is most important and love overcomes all else. With Candice and Braxten is where I need to be today.

Yes on COFFEE......... and I agree better coffee then alcohol.... give me a sugar free fat free Carmel late any day...
I love the idea of having a meeting on being accountable...... Good luck on everything with your Grand baby.


Hugs, Lisa
